And apparently is 2nd in the world in overall homicides (1st place taken by Brazil).

We have a retard alert right here.
Let me guess: You think China is richer than Luxembourg because it has a bigger GDP.

I am merely responding to OP's ridiculous claim that India has no related homicides or gang wars related to narcotics when it is sitting between most of the world's major opium producers.
You always this f*cking rude to people you don't know?

OP never said that there were zero murders in India related to Drug Trade. He said India doesn’t have crippling kidders or gang wars over drugs. It doesn’t. India is one of the worlds most impoverished countries and yet has a murder rate that is half the world average.

Marginal cost and benefit. The Yakuza have more to lose and less to gain in homicides.
